Question: What is Austin's largest souvenir? Answer: Its airport. There's no mistaking, to those who pass through, that Austin Bergstrom International Airport screams "Austin." Here, passersby are told about Austin museums and local legends. The airport eateries, Amy's Ice Cream, Matt's El Rancho, and the Salt Lick are completely unique to Austin, not just Texas. Stores tout Austin City Limits merchandise as well as Texas foods and bottled water. Even our own homegrown BookPeople gets into the act. Austin's airport has become more representative of its city than its state, or as some might say, a very large souvenir. Oh, and some of the widest variety of Austin souvenirs can be had here as well.
